#0864 - First trip to KOSH

Postby jjbardell » Tue Aug 23, 2016 5:13 pm

Ever since my dad took me to Oshkosh as a child back in the 80's, I dreamt of flying my own plane to AirVenture. With the help of many, my dream came true. Here's a short video of that experience!

Thanks to everyone who made this dream possible.
Thanks to my dad for giving me this dream!
